Defense, leadership keying Illini surge

Updated: February 19, 2013

CHAMPAIGN - The Fighting Illini have gotten back on track the last couple weeks, and they've done it with their defense. Illinois allowed 60+ points in 9 out of 11 games during their slide, but lately they've only given up 60+ once in the last four games.

Sunday's game in Evanston might have been Illinois' best defensive performance of the year. They held Northwestern to just 25% FG shooting and never let the Wildcats' offense find it's rhythm.
